Who is Mike Nifong?
Michael Byron Nifong (born September 14, 1950) is a disbarred North Carolina attorney.[2] He was district attorney for Durham County, North Carolina (the state's 14th Prosecutorial District), but was removed and disbarred due to his misconduct in the 2006 Duke University lacrosse case.[3] Observers consider several criminal justice bills passed by the North Carolina legislature later that same year to have been influenced by Nifong's actions in the Duke lacrosse case.[4] (Wikipedia)
Why am I posting this?
Last Friday a Kastigar hearing took place in Ramsey County because of violated rights of one of our members. A Kastigar or taint hearing takes place to determine if 5th Amendment (aka Garrity) protected material was used to wrongfully prosecute someone. This was a closed hearing and I can say nothing more then it took place.
Some should be fearful, some should be happy soon.
But, hey this has come from the HCSO before. Read here.
